Evolution: the Finale

"Days will age into nights, and nights grow into days, before the currents converge. Other ships will pass you in the dark, zailing the other way. You will look overboard at the waves, clear as glass, cold as winter's bite, and daydream. You will see the false-stars reflected, and the stalactites above, their mirrored pillars moving like zee-snakes."

It has all been leading up to this. The Youthful Naturalist has travelled the length and breadth of the zee, from the citadel of Cline to the heights of Gaider's Mourn to the dark waters of Death. Together, you've outwitted enemies, detractors, and natural law itself. You've achieved feats beyond even the Dilmun Club. You've proven that evolution is possible; that the bonds of destiny can be escaped.

Now, Irem will open to you. And, one way or another, it will all come to an end.

The final chapter of 'Evolution' is out now! Evolution is available to everyone who has a ship and has delved into the mysteries of the Dilmun Club – specifically, you will need to have completed a trip to the Court of the Wakeful Eye and obtained the quality 'Associating with Radical Academics' at 75. The entirety of the serial story is free, and available to all players.

Last we left this story, you were waiting for the Implacable Detective to contact you one final time. This chapter begins through a guaranteed card draw in London. You’re ready if your ‘Associating with a Youthful Naturalist’ quality is 630.

Irem, the City of Pillars

"She will rise from the zee and the ice like dawn. She will be garlanded with red and decked with gold. The Seven-Serpent will watch you longingly from its high pedestal."

Previous Zee locations have been accessible independently of chapters in the Youthful Naturalist’s story, but Irem and the finale are a package deal. The City of Pillars will only fully open to you once you have concluded the Naturalist’s story. What you will find there is neither a linear story, nor a wheel.

It’s something unique in Fallen London, and one of the largest locations on the Unterzee. I suggest you don’t miss it – especially those of you who like to collect secrets, share discoveries, or tease out puzzles.
